Yenyewe,
Nimefuatilia mjadala huu wa majibu ya swali lako kwa karibu na kuona kuwa kuna hoja nyingi zilizotolewa ambazo ni muhimu.
Baadhi ya hoja alizotoa Chacha Poultry Farm na KeyserSoze ni nzuri ila inachotakiwa ni ku-strike the right balance katika hoja walizozitoa. Yaani kabla ya kuamua kuacha kazi ya kuajiriwa inatakiwa ujiandae kiakili, kiujuzi na ki-msimamo. Ukiwa na vitu hivi unaweza kufanikiwa hata kwa mtaji mdogo tu.

Why you should not quit your Job and start a business before preparing first:
There seems to be a global “Go-and-quit-your-job” movement going on, which I must have missed somehow. It sort of feels a bit like "Go-and-quit-your-job" fever.
A lot of people out there write and talk about quitting your job and how amazing it is to do your own stuff and be your own boss. The dream!
What these stories usually leave out, are the times when it was rough. When you were down on your knees. When nothing seemed to work out. When you were about to quit.
I know working a job is horrible and it will in many cases make you feel miserable. I felt the same way back in 2013. That's why I decided to quit my job.
Here are a few signs that lead me to quit my job:
- When my alarm rang in the morning, I didn't feel like getting up. Ten more minutes. Until ten more minutes ended up in half an hour or even more.
- When I got home from work I didn't have any energy left to do stuff. Doing mind numbing things that were pointless sucked the energy out of me.
- I felt like I had a lot more potential than this. I felt like this can't be it. I felt like there must be more to life than this.
And a few more things. These are all perfect signs that you don't like your job. That you should even consider quitting your job.Now wait a minute. Didn't the title say that you shouldn't quit your job this year?That's exactly what it says.
But from my own (painful) experience I learned a few things.
If you resent your job, your life, your boss, your colleagues or feel like you're capable of doing great things in your life, I recommend that you don't quit your job before preparing first.
To me quitting your job without testing and seeing how the business is performing sounds like a huge gamble.
It actually sounds like going to Las Vegas, taking all of your life time savings with you, joining a poker table and you you've never even played a second of poker in your life….hoping to win and multiply your life savings!
What I recommend doing instead are some of the things below .These are the skills and things you'll desperately need once you quit your job. I feel that it's a lot better to start working on them when you still have a job (and a regular income):
# SELL. SELL. SELL
If you've never ever sold anything in your entire life it will be pretty tough to learn it while you're also trying to build a product, a service or what it is that you're planning to make money with in the future.
Creating a business and being able to sell products are two entirely different things. Learn both of them (and especially the second one) before you jump right
# LEARN THE TOOLS
These are the skills, knowledge and practical experience of the business you want to do. Start applying these tools to your business while you are still employed. Start doing during the weekend or employ someone on a part time basis to do this business while at the same time keeping a closer eye on how the business is performing.
This is really important especially for people who are made redundant from work. Statistic shows that these people experience less stress because they immediately use these skills to earn their living in a different environment.
# FIND CUSTOMERS FIRST
Before you quit your job, start looking where your customers are. Start building the demand for your product. This way you can easily test whether or not the market really needs and wants your product.
It's a lot easier to actually quit your job once you already have paying customers lined up. And you know your business is not just based on pure assumptions anymore.
# CONFIDENCE FOR FREE
So take every opportunity you get at your current job to get more experienced and gain more confidence. Because you're going to need it when you're on that stage trying to convince people to buy your product or invest in your company.
Take every opportunity to train these skills inside the “safe” environment at your job. Be the guy or gal that does all the extra work people are afraid of.
You can definitely start doing all of this stuff only once you quit your job. But this will take a hell lot of time and take away your focus from many other things.
So if you can work on these things before you actually quit your job why not start working on them right now?
And while you keep your job, you start doing side businesses and see which of the things turns into a profitable one. A business that might allow you to maybe quit your job.
Maybe this year. Maybe next year.
But at least you'll be a lot better prepared for what's to come…..
